Member Ratings and Notes

Chris

N: An attractive floral rye dominated nose, light wood, cinnamon sticks.
P: Definitely leans towards the rye profile, some balancing sweetness but the wood spice then takes over. Nice.
F: Quite long on the wood spice, a hint of cherry.

Adam

Nose of candy corn, with leather and some must. Honey. After time, it opens up excellently into, well uh, I wrote "candy-caramel-yum." The palate isn't as thrilling as the nose, but for some, will be exactly what they're looking for -- it's quite "smooth" and generally a vanilla-honey number with a mild sweetness. Nicely balanced, with the oak just noticeable enough. Easy to drink with a nice, moderate chew to it. It's not a superstar or a true standout, but it's great bourbon that I like quite a bit. B/B+

Sku

Nose: very syrupy with maple notes.
Palate: Comes on sweet and follows up with oak and some savory notes.
A good Bourbon but not exceptional for the price.

B/B+

Andy

n: laundry detergent

p: Oatmeal and brown rice.

Good, but no first edition.

Fuji

Wood varnish and sealer on the nose. Black fruits with spiced wood. Theres hints of grass/ vegetal notes. I wish the finish would hold on a bit longer. I felt it dropped off too early.
